Great news for our loyal triathletes who are growing in numbers at Finishers! โค๏ธโ๐ฅ And a little highlight, we're venturing beyond French territories to the lovely Alicante ๐บ, along the sunny Costa Blanca in Spain! ๐ช๐ธ We truly go all out for our triple-discipline enthusiasts! ๐โโ๏ธ In the Valencia region, you can participate in the Mediterranea Tri Alicante! ๐ Let me tell you more about this wonderful triathlon by introducing the 3 distances available: the classic "Olympic Triathlon" ๐, featuring 1.5 km swimming ๐โโ๏ธ, 40 km cycling and 10 km running ! While this might be daunting if you're not well-prepared ๐ช, there are two other options for you. The "Sprint Triathlon" offers a less demanding challenge: 0.5 km swimming, 20 km cycling ๐ตโโ๏ธ, and 5 km running! If that's still too challenging, consider the "SuperSprint Triathlon" with 350 m swimming, 10 km cycling, and 2.5 km running! ๐ฃ What do you think? Isn't it an inclusive event? ๐ Also, we almost forgot to mention, all distances can be done as a duo! ๐ญ It's the perfect opportunity to bring your partner-in-crime and smash it (figuratively, of course)! ๐ซต For those who enjoy family events, there's the "Duathlon" ๐ฏโโ๏ธ, a non-competitive event designed for fun and discovering the sport! ๐โโ๏ธ
Do you know Alicante? ๐ค If so, you're probably already signed up for the event. If not, you're in the right place to learn more. Let's start: this beautiful Spanish city is coastal ๐ , meaning you'll swim in the Mediterranean Sea during the event! ๐พ Both the cycling and running circuits, regardless of the format, take place along the waterfront ๐ฆ, ensuring breathtaking views and ideal weather during the competition! ๐ก๏ธ Speaking of Alicante, the Mount Benacantil ๐๏ธ overlooks the city and houses the stunning Santa Bรกrbara Castle ๐ฐ, 166 meters high by the sea! It's one of the largest on the coast, with sections from three different eras: the famous "La Torreta" from the 14th century, the main buildings from the 16th century, and the lower enclosure featuring the Revellรญn del Bon Repos from the 18th century ๐. Now, with the little history lesson out of the way ๐, let's talk about the marvelous spots you can explore if you extend your Spanish stay! ๐ If you enjoy wandering through city streets, you'll love "El Barrio," Alicante's old town! ๐คฉ Alternatively, if you're keen on venturing to new horizons โต, the island of Tabarca will amaze you with its vibrant scenes. To get there, you'll need a boat, which you can easily find on the beaches ๐๏ธ or at the Port of Alicante! ๐ณ๏ธ While you're waiting to become a captain, we want to see you excel as a mermaid! ๐งโโ๏ธ
